The second time around from a clean 1.3.3.1 intall worked flawlessly. Ah actually the second time around I also had net_ftp installed beforehand. Dunno if that changed anything. Installing and upgrading seemed to work fine in general. I even validated a package. List seems to work as well. Maybe someone from pear-qa could generate a form that people can submit to tell Greg what commands they have tested? regards, Lukas
